My favorites are Kava and skullcap, Though calcium/magnesium is good to take every day. When i feel a panic attack coming on i reach for the Rescue Remedy, it works wonders.

I've dealt with an anxiety disorder for many years. I had a therapist suggest Valerian Root...I take it twice a day, and it works wonderfully at controlling my anxiety. It smells really awful, but it works!

For sudden anxiety attacks, I keep a bottle of Rescue Remedy spray in my purse.

This thread is helpful. Can any of these be taken when you are pregnant (the rescue remedy, valerian root, etc)?

Question about St. John's Wort - I know it can help with depression, but what if your depression comes with anxiety/panic? I read that one of the side effects of SJW is restlessness. A person with anxiety/panic certainly doesn't need that. I have been thinking about SJW and even bought some, but I'm a little afraid of the side effects.

soapgoddess!!!!! you said 'natural thyroid pill' what is this?

 

[SoapGoddess]

Ediesmom, I use Armour Thyroid. It's a natural thyroid replacement. You can read more at www.armourthyroid.com.

I have also had great results with a homeopathic remedy called Argentum Nitricum (for anxiety, fear & panic attacks).

I have had great results using Argentum Nitricum & Rescue Remedy at the same time when I have felt my heart starting to race.

I have also used the essential oil, Frankincense, and I just hold the bottle under my nose & smell it in. It has a calming effect on the emotions.

Along with Rescue Remedy, figuring out which of the Bach Flower Remedies is most approriate for you can help to treat the underlying emotional cause.

How do you use the Bach Remedy? I read you use 4 drops in a glass of water and drink throughout the day...also how do you use the spray, etc.?
